L-Carnitine-d9 is a deuterated form of L-carnitine, an essential compound involved in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. The “d9” designation indicates that it contains nine deuterium atoms, which replace hydrogen atoms in the molecule. This isotopic labeling enhances its utility as an internal standard in quantitative analysis using mass spectrometry. L-Carnitine-d9 is used in research to accurately measure L-carnitine levels and study its metabolic pathways, particularly in fields such as metabolic disorders, nutrition, and pharmacology, where precise quantification is crucial.
